Invitation for Upcoming Master Code Webinar
Source: NHVR / CoRsafe
The 2026 Master Code is an authoritative source of information concerning safety in heavy vehicle transport. The Code provides guidance on managing hazards and risks, and about risk assessments and risk controls. It is a key safety tool that helps parties in the Chain of Responsibility (CoR) meet their Primary Duty under the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL).
The Code has been shaped through extensive formal and informal consultation and feedback from industry and reflects the maturity of understanding that industry has about the Primary Duty and the skills required to manage safety.
In September 2025 following the release of the draft Code, Aaron Louws, the Supply Chain Technical Manager at CoRsafe is once again teaming up with legal expert Nathan Cecil, Partner at Holding Redlich, to help unpack the new Code in a free webinar – The New Master Code, and what it means for you.
The New Master Code, and what it means for you
The webinar will explore what’s different in the final version, what changed from the draft, and how businesses might use the new Code as guidance to better understand their legal obligations, improve heavy vehicle safety, and reduce risk to the public.
The webinar aims to translate complex requirements into practical messages, like how the shift towards a more role-agnostic approach is going to work, what the focus on a broad range of hazards and risks may mean for existing practices, and how to make sense of the 40+ activities and 500+ controls without having a Master’s Degree in Business & Commercial Law.
If you operate heavy vehicles, send goods, receive goods, load trucks, unload trucks, pack goods, employ drivers, or engage 3rd party freight businesses… this is one not to miss!
The webinar
Will be hosted Wednesday 18 February, 11am-12pm ADST.
